Here at the @warburginstitute.bsky.social to read a book I need by a highly celebrated American intellectual historian of the Renaissance, and obviously, who is sitting at the back of the reading room but … I won’t disturb them.

If you don't know him, he is fabulously friendly and kind. Say hello! (Although when he is focused, he will not be deterred)

What an excellent set of lectures. As to your not having disturbed him, in the old days the wall of the Warburg reading room was decorated with: EST ET FIDELI TUTA SILENTIO MERCES (Horace, Odes, III.2.25-6)
